Mods./upgrades

Now that I have my truck issues taken care of, what are some upgrades/modifications that I should do to my truck?

BTW, this truck has 273xxx miles on it so if you guys have any ideas of mechanical things I should look into that would greatly be appreciated!

I want to make this truck amazing, and reliable for me for years to come.

intercooler and 140v IDM in addition to what Glove said. Gauges are a must. If auto get a good cooler.

Also, I would look into getting the trand rebuilt when you do all the engine modifications. Look at getting Kevlar clutches, a set of steel planetary gears instead of the aluminum ones in the autos now. A bigger valve body would do wonders as well.

Most of what you guys have said I know what your talking about. But, what is "Term 500" and how do I set up for electric fuel?? Also what does a 140v IDM do for me?

Cheaper options are available, but it is a nice kit.

Before modding make sure your truck is in top running condition. Some mods like a chip can hide a little issue till it turn into a big problem

As far as I know it rums like it should, as long as my GPR doesn't go out again! But at 273900 its hard to say that, seems like everytime I fix a problem another one arises. But yes you are 100% correct, I really don't want to have to rebuild the engine, or get a different truck
